The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority (HISA) will be on-site at Laurel Park on Wednesday, April 22, as part of its ongoing national listening tour aimed at engaging directly with horsemen and industry participants.
HISA’s leadership team will host a two-hour open Q&A session beginning at 10:30 a.m. in the Sports Bar. This session is designed to provide horsemen with a meaningful opportunity to ask questions, share concerns, and participate in an open and productive dialogue about HISA’s rules, programs, and their day-to-day impact on the industry.
The goal is straightforward: to foster direct communication. HISA leadership will be available to listen, offer clarity, and engage in a constructive conversation about what is working, what challenges remain, and where improvements can be made.
Lunch will be provided at no cost for all attending horsemen.
All Laurel Park horsemen are strongly encouraged to attend and take part in this important discussion.
For questions, please contact Mackenzie Kirker-Head at mackenzie.kirkerhead@hisaus.org.
